Can anyone recommend a good gaming motherboard for around £100
+/-£10 that would be suitable for an intel i5-4670k.

Thanks!

The MSI Z87-G45 has a killer NIC 2200 network card built into the motherboard, this helps with less lag when gaming online, the Z87-G45 also has better onboard audio and a Msata slot which is really cool because you can get a Msata SSD and use it as a cache so that if you haveany mechanical HDDs they will read almost just as fast as an SSD.

Paired with the i5-4670k I would have to say the Z87-G45 is the better board and since you have a "K" series i5 the Z87-G45 has better power phases which will help when overclocking, it will make the board more stable.

Hope this helped you,

I've looked around and two boards stick out to me as the best ( but not too expensive ) motherboards for your i5 4670k and these are :

1) Asus Z87M-PLUS Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard
http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Motherboards/Intel+Socket/Socket+1150+-+Intel+Z87/Asus+Z87M-PLUS+Intel+Z87+%28Socket+1150%29+DDR3+Micro+ATX+Motherboard+?productId=56875
.. one of the best sub £100 all round motherboards for the socket 1150 designation... and although it only supports crossfire the remaining features such as usb3.0 and sata 6gb are a must .. it also has some interesting overclocking features such as overclocking protection ( ASUS 5X PROTECTION and ASUS ESD Guards )

2) MSI Z87-G45 GAMING Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) ATX Motherboard
http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Motherboards/Intel+Socket/Socket+1150+-+Intel+Z87/MSI+Z87-G45+GAMING+Intel+Z87+%28Socket+1150%29+ATX+Motherboard+?productId=55798
... theres no doubt that this motherboard is in a league of its own and all for just £117... theres both sli and crossfire support and the board will be a showstopper in any case,especially with a side window..... theres also a killer nic network adapter which is a must for online gamers ( since it reduces ping times and also prioritises network traffic )both these motherboards would be a excellent choice

... however on this occasion I have to recommend the MSI Z87-G45 GAMING Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) ATX Motherboard due to its superior features ( which also include OC Genie 4 for 1 click overclocking ) ....

I hope this helps
